“He was found just outside of Barriere at the start of Westside Road (which is just past the North Thompson Bridge),” she wrote. “He had fallen, somehow, down a steep bank off the side of the road, and was stuck, until a dear friend of mine, and his children, heard his calls while searching on foot.”

Holowaychuk’s thoughts then turned towards the person who stole her car, asking people to “send this boy and his family some good wishes.”

She believes the thief is one of her former students, and she’s worried about him.

“He was a student of mine…he has goodness inside of him that I could see then, and that I’ve been really sad to see disappearing lately.”

“People fall down, people fall off of their path and all it takes is someone to care enough, to listen for their calls for help and bring them back onto their path and bring them back to the people who love them.”
